A passion for drawing has accompanied Alessio B since childhood, but it was a trip to Paris that introduced him to street art, graffiti writers and stencil techniques through the work of Blek le Rat, an artist who became an early source of inspiration.
The walls of his home became his first surfaces and Keith Haring one of his first artistic references. Pop Art also influenced his imagery, leading him to reinterpret figures from pop and rock music and international popular culture.
After graduating in Architecture in Venice, Alessio B travelled through England, Spain, Morocco, the Caribbean and Tanzania. These journeys enriched him with memories, images and sensations that helped shape his identity as a street painter.
